Pete Davidson had a memorable birthday this year, opting for a cozy celebration rather than a night out, with a surprise twist that honored his deep affection for “The Sopranos.” The Staten Island native, celebrating his birthday on November 16, shared that his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, orchestrated a special surprise that took him completely by surprise.
In a candid conversation with “People,” Davidson recounted how Hewitt not only baked him a cake but also arranged for surviving cast members of his favorite show to send him heartfelt birthday wishes in a video message. “I was shocked. It was really cool,” Davidson expressed, highlighting the unique way his loved ones honored his special day.
The timing of this birthday surprise resonates well with Davidson, who has been diving into comfort television as he prepares for fatherhood. In a recent video for eBay titled “Built to Spec,” Davidson showcased his newly customized “dad van” and discussed his penchant for collecting VHS tapes, particularly sets of “The Sopranos.” “I have ordered tons of stuff on eBay over the years. All of my VHS tapes on there, ‘Sopranos,’ sports cards [and] I got a couple watches off there,” he noted, sharing a glimpse of his interests.
As Davidson anticipates becoming a father, he expressed a strong desire to pass on his love for “The Sopranos” to his future child. “That’s the only thing I really need is, from my soul, is for them to enjoy ‘The Sopranos’ the way I do,” he remarked, underscoring the importance of shared experiences in the family.
The birthday celebration also included a special touch from Davidson’s mother, who joined the couple to whip up her renowned chicken cutlets, which are well-known among their Staten Island community. “It was a pretty great day,” Davidson concluded, reflecting on the warmth and joy that characterized his birthday festivities.
This anecdote not only highlights Davidson’s personal growth and joy in family traditions but also paints a picture of a future filled with cherished moments, particularly as he embarks on his journey into fatherhood.
